Delicious homemade peppermint patties with creamy peppermint filling covered in rich dark chocolate. Easy to make and perfect for gifting or enjoying anytime!
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 jar marshmallow cream (Fluff) 7 ounce
- 10 Tbsp unsalted butter softened
- 1.5 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp peppermint extract
- 5.5 cups powdered sugar
- 1 package Ghirardelli dark chocolate melting wafers 16 ounce
- 8 ounce Ghirardelli white chocolate melting wafers optional for football-shaped patties
Instructions
Preparation Steps
- In a large mixing bowl, beat marshmallow cream, softened butter, vanilla extract, and peppermint extract until fully combined. Gradually add powdered sugar and mix on medium speed until the mixture is smooth and well blended.
- Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Using about 1 tablespoon of filling, shape into balls and flatten for traditional patties, or shape into footballs by pinching the ends. Place shaped patties on the lined sheet, cover with plastic wrap, and freeze for about 2 hours or overnight.
- Melt the dark chocolate wafers according to package instructions. Using a toothpick, dip the frozen peppermint patties into the chocolate, tap off any excess, and place back on parchment paper to set. Repeat until all patties are coated.
- For football-shaped patties, melt white chocolate wafers and pipe laces on top using a small plastic bag with a cut corner. Allow to set for a few minutes.
- Store peppermint patties in a covered container at room temperature and enjoy within a week.
